Abstract
To date, little is known about the craft productions in Quentovic. However, the artefacts discovered leave no doubt. At the heart of the settlement along the river Canche, the work of amber, metal, antler and glass is clearly attested from the very first occupations at the end of the 6th, until the site was abandoned around the 10th century. On the southern plateau of the valley, a Carolingien potter’s workshop is in use located at the edge of the monastic estate of Saint-Josse. Our paper will present the state of knowledge of these productions, their location and their integration into the site. It will also raise the question of the involvement of the abbeys established near the portus in the exploitation of the resources of the lower valley of the Canche, Quentovic's host estuary.
